I don't know if it was some kinda fad in the 70's but Meatloaf album BooH was written if it was a musical, maybe he got the idea from The Who, or maybe it was Andrew Lloyd Weber, who knows, but it was produce by Todd Rundgren who produce a quite few famous bands during the 70's & 80s.

Queen had an amazing sound with the vocal harmonies and the overdubbing, so even without synthesizers that were all rage during the 70's the vocals alone gave there songs an other-worldly sound, where most other bands relied on the synthesizer for their otherworldly sound, just think of Pink Floyd and their otherworldliness. Queen are even recognized by The Vocal Group Hall of Fame Foundation, a pretty impressive accolade imo. Besides their vocal capabilities their musicianships was top notch too. Brian May created his own unique sound, with the Red Special (he made himself with this father) Vox AC30s, an echo unit thingamajig and harmonic overdrive and another thing He didn't do the typical blues guitar solo as most blues-rock guitarist would do like EC of Jimmy Page (I mean at the the time everyone was doing it at the time and it was a little overdone or old hat) but Brian had his own unique style. They were a great band that had major hits that were anthems for their time, one of the more important bands from the 70's era.

Meatloaf was a one tricky pony with the BooH sequels, and didn't explore different musical styles like Queen and didn't consistently release albums with hits on them like Queen. So with "Meatloaf vs Queen" I would have to pick Queen.
